How to Eliminate Daily Annoying Knee Pain WITHOUT Shots, Painkillers, and Wearing a Brace

Here at Genuine Care Physical Therapy, we understand how having bad knees can hinder daily activities. That’s why we want to take this time to talk about knee pain. When it comes to the knees, it is easy to blame ‘age’ that brings about ‘wear and tear’ in everybody’s life. Incorrectly, people assume they just need to ‘deal’ with knee pain until such a time as a joint replacement becomes unavoidable. Alternately, some people just ignore knee pain, believing it will disappear in time. Both scenarios lead the patient to a life of constant pain. This life of pain is one that our dedicated team at Genuine Care Physical Therapy strive to heal – we promise you that knee pain can be overcome.

You don’t know why this is happening to you; furthermore, it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. What can you do?

Well, the good news is you are not alone and many others have been where you are now. Indeed, knee pain is one of the most common issues that we deal with in Genuine Care Physical Therapy.

Below you’ll find the most common stages sufferers of knee-pain go through:

1. Why does my knee pain keep getting worse, even after I’ve suffered for over six months?

Whereas with flu, or even just an achy body after a gym workout, we feel a lot better after a few days – so, why not with knee pain? It is important to remember that knee pain is unique, and, unlike a headache or stomachache, knee pain can be exacerbated by various activities. For this reason, many people avoid straining activities and believe the knee-pain will disappear of its own accord, but unfortunately waiting for the pain to vanish only increases its strength in time.

2. The Painkiller Rules All!

As often happens, patients with a seemingly chronic pain condition are prescribed painkillers by their doctors. Unfortunately, these tablets are often counterintuitive and the patient ends up on a higher and more detrimental dose. For recurring, mechanical pain, painkillers are not the answer!

3. And after all… A Joint Replacement is inevitable … or is it?

Most doctor visits can be confusing, but when it comes to knee pain things get even more complicated than usual. Unfortunately, the diagnosis given to the patient is usually pretty gloomy. ‘Bone-on-bone’ or other confusing statements are often used, leaving the patient vulnerable and impressionable. In these instances, many believe a joint replacement is the only solution for the pain. The truth is, however, that even joint replacements tear or malfunction and thereafter cannot be replaced. The best treatment is ALWAYS prevention, and we here at Genuine Care Physical Therapy can help you with just that!

Are you confused because you have been told so many different things by an even larger amount of different people? Are you no longer sure whether Google or YouTube have more answers than your doctor? Every day we are faced with a multitude of answers for problems we didn’t even know we had, and for patients with knee pain it becomes even worse. Which exercise helps for knee pain? Should you walk or should you rest? The lack of clarity and the overwhelming uncertainty leads people to procrastinate, hoping that indecision saves them from the wrong choice. Many people assume that knee pain will disappear eventually: they are choosing to just ‘live with it’ – don’t let this be you.

Is this how you feel? Don’t let knee pain debilitate you anymore!

Here Are 7 Reasons Why Your Knee Pain Could Be lasting longer than it should Be:

1. You’ve waited for the pain to disappear, but it hasn’t and has now gotten worse.

2. You followed what the doctors told you to do – take painkillers and see - but the pills didn’t help and once their effects wore off your knee pain was even worse than before.

frown-o

3.Friends and family told you to expect pain as you got older, so you just accepted it.

frown-o

4. You tried other healthcare providers or physical therapists in the past, but they didn’t help you much. That may have lead you to believe invasive procedures, such as shots or surgeries, are the only options available to you.

frown-o

5.You tried figuring out how to stop the pain yourself – perhaps you wore a knee brace or knee support – but nothing has helped.

frown-o

6. You decided to rest the knee due to pain, stiffness, and swelling, but the pain persisted and still irritates you every day.

frown-o

7.You were informed by doctors to keep stretching your knee so you did it every day, but no visible result was witnessed.

1. Make the right decision: GET HELP THAT WORKS. Too many of your precious hours have been lost because of knee pain – how many more hours do you want to lose? Don’t give up on the things that you love. Call us today.

2.​Do exercises that WORK. One of most effective ways to get rid of pain, and to prevent the pain from re-surfacing, is to do customized progressive exercises. The right exercises prescribed by a physical therapist will definitely help reduce pain without damaging your joint. These exercises will help you move more freely and prevent the problem coming back anytime soon.

3.​Avoid sitting in improper positions. We often hear from our customers that his or her pain increased dramatically after a long flight – the knee might swell and be painful for days after the journey. In reality, our body is not designed to sit for extended periods of time. Bending the knee for a long time in a sitting posture exacerbates knee pain. Appropriate strengthening exercises overseen by a physical therapist, along with hands-on treatment, will make a huge difference.

4.​Forget amateurs, hire a specialized physical therapist.
